@thesilenteyecatcher :

Hello there.

I hope you don’t mind me asking but in what way were you harassed?

If the case would not fall under the Sexual Harassment law, you may check out RA 9262 (AN ACT DEFINING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN, PROVIDING FOR PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR VICTIMS, PRESCRIBING PENALTIES THEREFORE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES).

Otherwise, the act committed may simply be vexatious.

That’s my two cents worth on the matter.

Hope it helps your cause.

Good day friends, I’m a victim of sexual harassment. I came to this website with high hopes of gaining knowledge on how I can fight for my rights in the most legal way.

But all I understood is that the parties involved is someone authoritative and someone who’s either a student, employee, worker… Can anyone of you provide me any resources regarding the law or a case study based in the Philippines regarding sexual harassment between 2 students?

Thanks. Keep Fighting!

I’m glad I come across on this site. I know this would be a big help. Our company has no provision on anti sexual harassment – a clear violation of the law that employers has to post it for everyone to know and be included in training for new employees.What is worst is that the “highest ranking official” in the office is the aggressor and of course no one has the guts to come out and complain. Just recently, an employee came to the manager to report an act of sexual harassment. The management has made no action yet because the aggressor has a higher position than the manager. It was only after a day that the manager talked to the aggressor telling him about the complain, But the aggressor said “never mind them”. The manager doesn’t want it to appear like the case is ignored, However, the victim was advised that the issue will be raised to the CEO who is coming after a week. The owners of the company are foreign nationals – to include the aggressor. The victim along with the others already came out talking about their own experiences although they are still afraid to complain formally. Please enlighten us what to do.

Thank you very much.

If the male high school students are forced by the teacher to perform lewd acts in exchange for good grades, then the acts you narrated may be considered as sexual harassment.

However, if said students perform the lewd acts in mutual consent with the teacher, then this constitute immoral and disgraceful conduct. Such conduct may be sanctioned under rules in the faculty handbook or student handbook.

Further, if such lewed behavior is done in public resulting to people getting scandalized, then a criminal complaint may also be filed against the concerned parties.

If a male teacher is close with his few male high school students, and they are doing the “boy things” together, like trying to use condoms, showing off their bodies and sexual organs to one another, is this considered sexual harassment? Please reply directly to my email.

3 years ago I posted that comment on top. Indeed, my comment regarding school setting harassment, happened in our university. As far as I could remember, the higher authorities in the said school took an action to it however, it was so slow and the professor is still there. The student graduated without regaining her honor and dignity as her case was publicized and she became “famous” to the public eye. She just shut her mouth and live her life as if nothing happens, but somehow I know, deep inside her.she is hungry of justice.but nothing happened. Hopefully, this wont be happening to someone else or to any institution. Take action..affirm your rights!

Does the anti sexual harassment policy of a company (private) needs to be published in a newspaper of general circulation for 3 consecutive days to make it legal and also binding with the employees?

Please do send your reply to my email also. I really need your reply asap please.

Thanks. Jack

Is inappropriate, offensive, vulgar, suggestive, abusive, harassing, belligerent, threatening, defamatory text from a male co-worker means harassment from a womens end? Yung may bobo, tanga, binabastos ng harap harapan, iniinsulto ng harap-harapan etc etc (included in his text) would be a proof of how i am treated here sa office. Sad to say, we dont have yet a company’s employees handbook, on process pa. Pero can i make a complaint against my co-worker na nambabastos sakin since i have solid proof from also a co-workers text? Sad to say, pet ng boss ko yung 2 binabanga ko kaya natatakot ako. Please, I need your advice. Thanks a lot!

“sexual harassment is committed by an employer, employee, manager, supervisor, agent of the employer, teacher, instructor, professor, coach, trainor, or any other person who, having authority, influence or moral ascendancy over another in a work or training or education environment, demands, requests or otherwise requires any sexual favor from the other, regardless of whether the demand, request or requirement for submission is accepted by the object of the act.”
meaning.. STUDENT-ON-STUDENT can not be considered as an act of sexual harassment.

i will be having a class discussion concerning this matter on sunday. glad i’ve seen your post here.. this serves as a big help for me.. thank you..
by the way, one sophisticated and well-educated professor in ou school was kicked out because of sexual harassment, bad thing about it was that, he was harassing a male student instead of a female one.. i guess he is a pervert, too.
